    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring usage associated with a control component of a vehicle. Environmental states are determined for different time segments based on measurement data and utilized to determine an effective usage associated with each of the different time segments. Cumulative usage associated with the control component is determined based on the effective usages associated with the different time segments, and one or more actions are initiated based on the cumulative usage. For example, operation of the control component may be dynamically adjusted based on the cumulative usage, or maintenance actions may be recommended, scheduled, or otherwise initiated.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing control instructions to a pilot in the event of a loss of control of primary flight surfaces of an aircraft. The control instructions are determined using an emergency flight controller for receiving a pilot input, the emergency flight controller being in operable communication with at least one sensor for sensing aircraft parameters. The emergency flight controller is configured to determine target thrusts for the multiple engines and a target stabilizer position for the trimmable stabilizer on the basis of pilot input and sensed aircraft parameters. A guidance module is configured to provide instructions to a pilot as to how to control the engine thrusts toward the thrust targets and as how to control the trimmable stabilizer towards the target trimmable stabilizer position.
